Technical Advisory Committee
Prairie gayfeather/Blazing star (Liatris pycnostachya) and Rattlesnake master (Eryngium yuccifolium).
After the Texas Legislature designated the Coastal Center as the Texas Institute for Coastal Prairie Research and Education in 2017, a focus group convened at the Coastal Center. It was apparent that restoration鈥攂oth in actual practice and in the study of the restoration process鈥攚ould be important to the Institute鈥檚 future.
The Coastal Center recognized the Institute would greatly benefit from assembling an advisory group whose members recognized the role the Institute could play in coastal prairie restoration and were willing to contribute their expertise.
The Technical Advisory Committee is composed of prairie experts from state and federal resource agencies, private nonprofits, and private firms The Institute benefits from the advice of the advisory committee and appreciates their service.
